Each Sanlorenzo yacht is conceived by its owner. By his vision of what a yacht should be, and by his idea of the sea.

He is totally involved from the planning phase onwards, and his contribution is visible. There are no limits to his wishes.

This is why no two Sanlorenzos are the same and why each Sanlorenzo yacht is as unique as its owner.

FROM THE MASTHEAD

Confessions of a Weather Geek

I

As all committed outdoor recreationists know, monitoring the weather can mean the difference between comfort and discomfort, pleasure and pain, peace and war, or even life and death.

Unless you live in the desert, the weather provides endless spectacle and drama—and hell, it’s just fun to know what’s going on out there.

In my 20s when I was sailing every free minute I had, I was obsessed with the hypnotic rattle of the NOAA Weather Radio marine broadcast. Even in the dead of winter, I’d rarely wake up or go to sleep without clicking on my Radio Shack weather-band radio to listen to the forecast for inshore and offshore waters along the New England coast. The buoy reports from Georges Bank and Nantucket Shoals were particular fascinations. There, where fishermen have toiled for centuries, the sea bottom rises and converts the Atlantic breezes into steep waves, especially extreme during big storms.

One night at work, a strong wind was buffeting the building I was in. When I’d finished, I raced home and punched the button on the radio. The recorded voice was intoning a “storm warning” with winds of 55 to 60 knots out of the northeast. The buoy reports were impressive, with waves of 35 to 40 feet. Compelled by the potential for drama and excitement, I decided to don my foul-weather gear and drive to a spit of land in Massachusetts Bay called Nahant. On the town’s highest point was an abandoned Nike missile base. The weed-strewn concrete tarmac extended to the edge of a 40-foot cliff with direct exposure to the Atlantic.

The powerful wind and rain made it impossible to stand, so I got on my hands and knees and crawled to the edge of the cliff. There, before me, were huge, heaving waves exploding on the rocks with a thundering force I could feel in my sinuses. The roaring wind drove salty spindrift at high speed into my face. The droplets tore at my skin like a rasp. I could scarcely look for more than a few seconds at a time, but the scene was so magnificent in its unrestrained power, it has remained with me in vivid detail for more than 35 years.

I went home and turned on the weather radio and listened to the storm play out over the next couple of days, strangely gratified that I’d actually lived a little piece of it. Of all my time on and around the water, few experiences match that radio-spawned moment of seeing and feeling the power of the angry sea.

In this issue, Editor-at-Large Justin Ratcliffe reflects on the British version of NOAA Weather Radio, the BBC’s “Shipping Forecast.” He recalls his family listening to the mellifluous voice that read the U.K. marine details.

“For those at sea in the days before meteorological reports by satellite, it could mean the difference between life and death,” he writes. “For the rest of us, the litany of names and numbers simply served to confirm romantic notions of our island status, creating a snug (and somewhat smug) feeling of well-being as we imagined squally seascapes from the cozy comfort of our own homes.”

NOAA Weather Radio, with its hypnotic, computer-generated “reader” delivering the forecast to anyone within range of a station, may lack the poetry and romance of the “Shipping Forecast,” but it still enchants me and ignites my imagination. Whether on the water or ashore, it’s music to the ears of a weather geek.

on my face when the rattling stopped and the only sound was the cadence of the wind and the water slicing off the bow and slipping past the cockpit. On another of our escapades, we were bringing a power cruiser to Newport for the boat show and, late as usual, I let all the ponies out of the stable to get us there before dark. The blue V8 Crusaders never missed a beat, and the rumble under our feet was reassuring and comfortable. Sound, or the absence of it, on the water has a mystical quality that never fades nor feels the same way twice. Being on the water is all sweet music. Turn it up.

—Pete Frederiksen I just had to drop a note to tell you that Kenny Wooton’s letter in the November/December 2015 issue [From the Masthead] was quite moving (with the exception perhaps of the comment about “flatulent motorcycles,” which, as a biker, got my engine revving). Coming from the performanceboat side, I always laughed that my business was 100-plus mph, but my pleasure was 12 knots because you don’t spill your cocktail. You truly captured the essence of escaping to the quiet, and I can imagine your message reached many who walked out onto their deck or dock, breathed a primal sigh and just listened.

n her piece “Smaller Yachts, Shorter Terms, Instant Gratification” [November/December 2015], Kim Kavin is incorrect in her statement on day charter when she claims: “The concept is unheard of in the world of luxury yachts—a company that promises a charter yacht within a day of users hitting the ‘send’ button on a computer, tablet or smartphone. You read that correctly. Yachtster says it can get you a charter yacht not with one week’s or one month’s notice, but inside of one day—and sometimes on the same day, depending on what time you click to book.” My company has been doing this for four years. I specialize in last-minute charters. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

—Dhardra Blake, luxurydaycharters.com Author’s response: Like many charter brokers, Ms. Blake no doubt works diligently to respond to last-minute charter inquiries. When a client clicks the

button on her website, Blake probably searches through databases of available yachts, works the phones to reach captains she knows and uses every personal connection she can to make the lastminute booking happen.

Yachtster is different. When a client clicks the button on the Yachtster website, he has actually booked the charter vacation, just like booking an airline ticket online. The client has already selected everything from his charter itinerary to the food that will be on board, just as he might click to select his flight layovers and vegetarian meal on an airline’s website. Yachtster is yet another example of what so many travel agents and other types of brokers are experiencing nowadays: disruption by technology.

Designed for an owner wanting to equip his vessel with a submersible for underwater adventure, the Wider 165 is said to offer enhanced access to the sea with a highly customized beach club, open-air platforms and balconies, and an interior seawater swimming pool. “With the aluminum hull and superstructure all but complete, the first job is to attach the upper-deck structure to the hull, which could not be done in the other facility [due to] height restrictions,” said Tilli Antonelli, Wider founder and CEO.

A

mels has added a sixth model to its Limited Editions range. The Amels 188 (57.7 meters) joins the Dutch builder’s line of semi-custom superyachts conceived to offer owners extensive personalization opportunities and construction times half that of a full-custom yacht. The new model features an eco-friendly waste-heat recovery system for potable water, pool heating and HVAC. The yacht also has a hybrid switchboard for peakload-shaving and efficient generator operation.

With exterior design by Tim Heywood and interiors by Reymond Langton, the 188 accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms. The full-beam owner’s suite covers 861 square feet (80 square meters) and features a folding balcony, a private office and a lounge. The yacht has a 323-square-foot (30-square-meter) beach club and a wellness center that includes a gym, a sauna and a Turkish steam shower.

The Limited Editions models range in length from 180 feet (55 meters) to 272 feet (83 meters). Amels has delivered 23 Limited Editions with nine under construction. With engineering nearly complete, delivery of hull number one of the 188 is expected in 2018.

MULDER INTRODUCES 115M CONCEPT

T

he compelling criteria for this elegant 377-foot yacht were threefold: a helicopter platform on the foredeck, a dedicated heligarage beneath it and a vast beach club on the stern. “Our approach is not to focus solely on one part of the design, but to step back and take a helicopter view of the total picture,” said Frank Mulder, who’s been at the helm of Mulder Design since 1979.

Seemingly another stipulation was the relationship of volume to the overall design proportions, which resulted in the bold, forward-leaning profile you see here.

ctive Interest Media was, literally, “hot” on the scene at November’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which spanned seven locations with nearly 1,500 boats displayed across more than 3 million square feet of exhibit space—the most ever, according to Show Management, producer of the boat show. While overall attendance dipped slightly from the previous year (down 2.7 percent because of abnormally high temperatures at this year’s show, the organizers say) the number of boats on display were at an all-time high. In fact, they were up 12.5 percent in the 80-foot-and-above category.

Early reports indicate strong sales figures as well, according to Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist III, president of Show Management.

“Initial feedback from many exhibitors tells us this was a truly successful event,” Zimbalist said, “that demand from buyers is strong and many segments of the boating market are once again prospering.”

STERNLINES

BY DUDLEY DAWSON

A

recent day trip with two yachting buddies led to an out-of-the-way spot along the ocean in Stuart, Florida. There, nestled just inside the dune line, sits a small treasure known as the Elliott Museum with a collection that took me back decades.

Just starting my yacht design career with Jack Hargrave in 1974, I glanced outside one day to see a decrepit Model A Ford pull into our parking lot. The driver, wearing khakis dotted with grease stains, climbed out and headed toward our door. Must be some sort of repairman, I thought.

Jack soon introduced me to Elliott Donnelley, owner of Lantana Boatyard, where Burger Boat Company kept its southern sales and service facility. Elliott was a fanatic about Model A Fords, with a collection of 40 or so in various stages of restoration. His goal was to have one each of the many versions Ford and others built on the versatile chassis—coupes, sedans, panel trucks, milk trucks, hearses, you name it.

Days later, a modestly dressed older couple sauntered up our sidewalk. How nice, I thought, that Jack would hire a retired couple to clean the office and provide them a little supplement to their Social Security. Five minutes later, the couple stood by my board as Jack introduced Ralph Evinrude and Frances Langford. I recognized Evinrude’s name, of course, but only later did I learn that Langford’s Outrigger Resort was the Stuart hangout for the rich and famous—Langford’s fame derived from two decades as a singer and movie star in the 1930s and ’40s.

I came to know Langford better as we completed modifications to the couple’s Defoe-built motoryacht Chanticleer, and later, following Evinrude’s death, Langford acquired the Hargrave-designed Buckpasser to become the new Chanticleer. Burger originally built that boat in 1973 for Ogden Phipps, who achieved a bit of Hollywood fame himself when Disney’s 2010 movie “Secretariat” portrayed his character as the guy who lost the Triple Crown winner on a coin toss. To this day, Langford and Phipps remain two of my favorites among Hargrave’s clients, not only for their unwavering devotion to yachting, but also for

The Model A, Yachts and Hollywood Day-tripping in the Florida dunes. their gracious manners and genteel demeanors.

Happily for me and for many others, the Elliott Museum is the intersection of cars and yachts, as well as Hargrave, Burger, Evinrude, Langford and Donnelley. Two of the main exhibits are “Wheels of Change” and the “Frances Langford Outrigger Exhibit.”

The first is largely a display of Donnelley’s collection of Model A Fords, all now restored, and includes a number of other classic and exotic cars. They are all housed in a multilevel glass case. You can select any car from the catalog, and it automatically moves to a floor-level central platform where it rotates for closer inspection.

The second exhibit is a significant collection of Langford memorabilia, with a large part of it focused on her time with Evinrude and the two Chanticleers. There’s also an unrelated display of local maritime history, including a number of restored classic wooden boats. Taken together, it all makes the Elliott Museum a must-see for anyone interested in cars, boats or Hollywood history.

While you’re in the neighborhood, wander across the street to the Frances Langford Visitors Center for a tour of the Florida Oceanographic Society’s Coastal Center. It’s an extensive hands-on display of sea life that will delight kids of any age. Just down the road is the restored House of Refuge, the last remaining of 10 rescue stations that dotted the Florida coastline when it was still an uninhabited wilderness.

GESTATION THAT REQUIRED AN ITALIAN SHIPYARD’S PLUCK AND DETERMINATION.

FEBRUARY 2016

27

‘LUCK IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PREPARATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY,’ wrote Seneca, the Roman Stoic philosopher. It is highly unlikely the owner of 227-foot (69.3-meter) Suerte—Spanish for “luck”—had Seneca in mind when he named his yacht, but the moral of the quote is more than relevant to her story. A couple of years ago, she was sitting half-finished in a shipyard in Genoa, Italy, with no prospect of a buyer. Last September, she was among the showstoppers exhibiting in Monaco, where her builders declared the yacht would “set new standards in the Italian yachtbuilding sector.”

The outlook was not always so rosy. Suerte began life as one of two 64-meter (210-foot) sisterships at the Tankoa shipyard, which former Baglietto owner Guido Orsi set up in 2008 prior to the financial crisis.

The first hull—designed by Francesco Paszkowski with engineering

by Vincenzo Ruggiero—quickly sold to a friend of a Tankoa investor. The unlucky period in Suerte’s history began when the investor died, and the yard’s only client walked away. Tankoa bought back the unfinished yacht and work progressed for a few months, but as the recession took hold, construction ground to a halt in 2010.

And so it remained until Tankoa approached yachting consultant Michel Karsenti for help in finding a buyer, particularly among his clients in Russia and the Middle East. Karsenti was impressed by the yard’s in-house facilities and the high-quality construction of its first project, but felt the original design needed tweaking.

“The yacht had been designed in 2008, and I felt it no longer met the expectations of the marketplace,” Karsenti says. “We had to bring it up to date and create a modern classic by refreshing the design based on the existing hull and superstructure. Tankoa said that if I had a client, they were willing to do it.”

Paszkowski revised the exterior lines and, with interior designer Margherita Casprini, created the interior concept. The most significant change was to the vertical transom, which was restyled to mirror the sheer of the bow with a wall of glass at sea level, overlooking the swim platform. On the strength of these and other modifications, a contract was signed with a Moscow client in March 2014.

The yard’s luck had turned, but as Seneca would have us believe, there is no luck without preparation. Before the ink was dry on the contract—in fact, before it was even signed—Tankoa had already begun implementing the design changes, which included adding around 13 feet to the stern in stainless steel, to accommodate the new glass-front beach club. The extra waterline length brought with it an additional advantage when tank tests revealed it would provide extra speed for the same installed power. During sea trials with 7-foot waves and winds gusting at 35 knots, Suerte recorded a top speed of 18 knots, and her CAT engines (de-rated to reduce fuel consumption and increase time between overhauls) provided a range of more than 5,000 nautical miles at an economical 12.5 knots.

Delighted the build was back on track and determined to show their capabilities, the yard managers upgraded the specs without consulting the owner. A dry stack and particle filter were added to one of the Northern Lights generators to prevent exhaust fumes from invading the aft platform and two side terraces at anchor; the mast design was tested in a wind tunnel to prevent the same on the top deck when

underway; more bridge equipment was specified; and a heated windshield was installed. A Michelin-star chef was brought in to consult on the galley design: Among his recommendations were the custom door latches, operated with one finger on the stainless steel cabinets, which also have curved corners and inside edges for easy cleaning.

“This is our first boat, and the attitude was that it has to be the best,” says Renzo Chelazzi, Tankoa sales manager and a professional captain who brought 25 years of operational experience to the project.

Based on input from the yard and owner, the designers devoted as much of the yacht’s considerable volume (1,467 gross tons) as possible to the interior and exterior social areas, rather than the staterooms that are used primarily at night (with the exception of the owner’s apartment that occupies the forward half of the upper deck, including a private terrace). Paszkowski and Casprini, having devised a flexible general arrangement, then selected a palette of materials, tones and textures that lend the interior a sober, yet warm and welcoming ambience.

“The brief from the owner was based on sensations and atmosphere rather than specific materials,” Paszkowski says. “The interior had to be generic enough to appeal to the varying tastes of charter guests, but still be charming and sophisticated.”

Unusually, the main entrance is via the glass sliding doors to the beach club, equipped with bar, loungers, hammam and bio-sauna (a gentler option with lower temperatures and higher humidity for those who find the traditional Finnish sauna too hot to handle). The beach club, with its textured oak ceiling, teak paving and slate-clad walls, sets the relaxed, convivial spirit for the rest of the interior.

A central staircase opens into the main salon, which is divided into two zones. Full-height glazing with louvered blinds provides a Japanese-style “winter garden” overlooking the aft deck. Between two floor-to-ceiling photographic prints on the walls (economically sourced from Google Images) is a bar with a bespoke aluminum surface shaped and riveted to resemble an airplane wing. The bar area leads into a cinema and chill-out room with seating for 16 people to watch movies on the curved, 88-inch, 4K TV screen. Integrated into the bulkhead adjoining the dining room is a 265-gallon tropical aquarium. Amazingly, it was discovered that fish can suffer from seasickness, so the tank had to be pressurized to reduce the movement of the water inside.

The oak and teak veneers that anchor the interior design are complemented with tan leather wall tiles, creamy Jerusalem stone, Carrara marble, polished stainless steel accents and white lacquered surfaces.

Some of these materials are combined with bespoke textiles by Studio Maleki in Florence, Italy, to provide a variety of textures underfoot and create intuitive pathways that guide guests from one space to another.

The interior designers were also responsible for sourcing the artwork on board, ranging from the large-scale photographs on the walls and statuettes in dedicated niches to bold installations such as the monumental wood sculpture adorning the upper-deck lobby by Thierry Martenon, a self-described French sculpteur sur bois, or “wood sculptor.”

“We were maniacal about these kinds of details,” Casprini says.

“The interior is quite minimalist in style, and that means the execution had to be spot-on. It’s much easier to disguise imperfections in a more elaborate interior design.”

The five guest suites are on the main deck to make best use of the natural light streaming in through the large windows (the lower deck is dedicated to crew quarters and services, with laundry and dry/cold stores on the under-lower deck). Among the guest staterooms, the full-beam VIP is a gem, every bit as sumptuous as the owner’s apartment on the deck above. Earmarked for use by the owner’s son, the VIP is arguably the most masculine interior space, with white onyx and carbon-fiber accents not found elsewhere on the yacht.

The upper deck also has two sections. The forward half is devoted to the owner’s apartment with study/library, and the sky lounge is aft with another flat-screen TV, baby grand piano, ethanol fireplace and sushi bar. A sliding partition on the starboard side converts the conversation corner into an extra cabin with adjoining head for supernumeraries. The main seating area, flanked by two textured paintings on canvas, is illuminated by eight skylights in the bottom of the pool on the sundeck above.

Not so long ago, it looked as if Suerte had fallen victim to the vagaries of the marketplace. Today, she is a shining example of what preparation and perseverance can achieve, even when the odds seem stacked against you.

Malcolm Darch’s model of HMS Minerva, more than 6,000 hours in the making for an American client, nears completion in his studio in Salcombe, on England’s south coast.

Scale A MODEL-MAKER APPLIES ZEN-LIKE FOCUS TO CREATING

MASTERPIECES IN MINIATURE.

By Alan Harper

the fashion in mainstream museums, but I can remember those enchanted galleries of vessels arranged in no particular order, their sole purpose to ignite my juvenile imagination (or so I thought). It really didn’t matter if it was a trawler, a tea clipper or a burly battleship. To press my nose against the glass was to immerse myself in a perfect, miniature world.

I don’t think I ever quite grew out of it, and I’m in good company.

Malcolm Darch, one of the world’s preeminent model shipwrights, sells his masterpieces to collectors for six-figure sums. He works in a cramped upstairs studio overlooking the water in Salcombe, a pretty fishing port in England’s scenic southwest. A craftsman of breathtaking skill and unnatural patience, he originally trained as a timber shipwright, only to change careers when a local businessman saw what he was capable of and commissioned a model for display in his seafront hotel. Today, at age 65, Darch has been a full-time model-maker for 40 years.

Although two of his recent projects—a 64th-scale rendition of the British frigate Minerva, built for display in an American client’s home in Minerva, New York, and the even more ambitious ship of the line HMS Agamemnon—suggest a focus on the navy of Horatio Nelson’s time, Darch has a remarkably eclectic view of the maritime world.

Steamships, old Salcombe trading schooners, the square-rigged Moshulu made famous by author Eric Newby, a South Seas whaler, an ornate ceremonial barge and a tank landing craft commanded by the client’s father on D-Day are just a few of the vessels that draw the eye as you peruse his portfolio. Nothing seems to be off-limits.

“I’ve always liked the idea of building a clipper-bowed Gloucester fishing schooner, or a Baltimore clipper, any of the big American classic schooner-rigged racing yachts,” he says. “But then I’d also like to build the oceangoing steam tug Empire Dennis.”

He has built yachts, too—and such yachts they are. The magnificent William Fife III schooner Cicely, launched in Scotland in 1902, trounced Kaiser Wilhelm’s mighty Meteor III not once, but three times. Olin Stephens’ legendary racer Dorade was built in 1930 and is now, incredibly, fully restored and again winning offshore races.

If a list of past work suggests a prolific output, consider that Darch’s current project is only his 57th in 40 years. Some take months, others take years. When he delivered Minerva, she was his biggest commission with more than 6,000 hours to complete. Work on Agamemnon, estimated to take 9,000 hours, has been underway for three years. Darch reckons there’s still a year to go.

He charges by the hour. The numbers quickly become incomprehensible, but perhaps even harder to understand is the level of exactitude the obsessive miniaturist puts into each model. On Cicely, for example, the individual deck planks are accurately tapered in the Edwardian style and caulked with black paper. An ornate, balustraded staircase leads down from the yacht’s main hatchway—and will only ever be visible to someone brave enough to take the model out of its case and look down there with a flashlight. The spoked wheel is assembled from brass spindles turned on Darch’s watchmaker’s lathe and connects to the rudder via the same system of bevel gears used on the actual yacht. Less than half an inch in diameter, the capstan on Cicely’s foredeck is a working replica, its gears made from watch parts and hidden for all time beneath the deck.

“That was a personal thing,” Darch admits. “It took weeks. But I was determined to get it right.”

His research is equally painstaking. To gain accurate insight into ABOVE: Dorade, the legendary Olin Stephens yawl, was another recently completed project. RIGHT: Malcolm Darch in his studio. Research into each model takes months.

‘TIMBERS’ FROM A SHRUB The king of materials for the scratch-build model shipwright is English boxwood. A slow-growing evergreen shrub, it has been prized for centuries by joiners, musical instrument makers and engravers for its hardness, stability and invisibly fine grain. You can buy it from specialist craft suppliers, but Malcolm Darch acquired his stash from a timber merchant in Bristol, England, who was clearing out his inventory. He has since topped it up with donations from local gardeners.

“The trees take 400 to 500 years to mature,” Darch says.

“When given green, the wood has to be seasoned in a cool atmosphere. I have lots of branches drying under my studio, behind cold walls. They need five years, minimum.”

Darch converts the branches into the desired shapes using a thicknesser, band saw or lathe, and can create hand-finished planks just 1 millimeter thick for decks and topsides. —A.H.

Each model, when finally delivered to its eager owner, comes with a fat historical dossier detailing the career of the original vessel. There are copies of letters, bills, documents, plans, diagrams and anything else Darch has managed to unearth in museums and archives during months of research. Simon Stephens, curator of ship models at the National Maritime Museum, describes Darch’s thoroughness as “amazing” and regards the model-maker as an academic equal. “The quality and detail he goes into, and the amount of research, are of the first order,” Stephens says.

Agamemnon’s dossier is still a work in progress, but as the record of a busy and historically important ship, it will include copies of letters written by Lord Nelson during his three years as her captain. According to Darch, it will eventually amount to eight 200-page volumes.

IN THE WAKE OF THE MASTERS Since the completion of his model of HMS Minerva, Malcolm Darch’s work has been compared with the famous Navy Board models made for the British Admiralty in the 18th century. These were frequently left partially unplanked to display the internal hull construction and are acknowledged as a pinnacle of quality in the model shipwright world, fetching vast sums on the rare occasions when they come up for auction. The world-record price for a ship model is about $1,023,000, achieved at Christie’s in London for a Navy Board model of a 44-gun fifth rate, in exceptionally original condition, dating from the time of Queen Anne.

Darch uses many of the same tools, materials and techniques as his illustrious yet anonymous forebears, but unlike the old Lords of the Admiralty, his clients for both Minerva and Agamemnon requested their models to be fully rigged and fitted out, down to the last quoin, train tackle and clew garnet. —A.H.

F O R T H O S E AT S E A (AND ASHORE)

ENIGMATIC, ROMANTIC AND POETIC, BUT ALSO DEADLY SERIOUS, THE ‘SHIPPING FORECAST’ IS A MUCH-LOVED BBC INSTITUTION THAT HAS ENCHANTED GENERATIONS OF RADIO LISTENERS.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JUSTIN RATCLIFFE

M

y earliest memories of the “Shipping Forecast” date from when I was 4 or 5, during trips to the seaside in the family car, a rather posh Austin Princess Vanden Plas with two-tone livery, leather seats and a burl walnut dashboard. Even as a nipper in short pants, I was entranced by the mysterious language and mellifluous voice of the BBC announcer over the crackling radio—so entranced that it would often lull me to sleep on the homeward journey. The Austin Motor Company is long since defunct, but the “Shipping Forecast”—transmitted four times a day by BBC Radio 4—endures more than 90 years after it first aired in its current format in 1924.

Apart from being born in the fishing town of Lowestoft at a time when fish stocks were already in decline, my father had no special connection to the sea. In fact, as soon as he could, he joined the army to get away from it. But like countless other landlubbers in Britain, he found curious comfort in the “Shipping Forecast.” For those at sea in the days before meteorological reports by satellite, it could mean the difference between life and death. For the rest of us, the litany of names and numbers served to confirm romantic notions of our island status, creating a snug (and somewhat smug) feeling of well-being as we imagined squally seascapes from the cozy comfort of our own homes.

POETIC, ECCENTRIC, UNIQUE, ENGLISH The former head of BBC Radio 4, Mark Damazer, attempted to explain its enduring popularity thus: “It scans poetically, it’s got a rhythm of its own. It’s eccentric, it’s unique, it’s English. It’s slightly

As any sailor knows, the weather at sea can turn in an instant. Seafarers still use the ‘Shipping Forecast’ to check their data.

mysterious because nobody really knows where these places are. It takes you into a faraway place that you can’t really comprehend unless you’re one of these people bobbing up and down in the Channel.”

It all started with a disaster at sea. In October 1859, the steam clipper Royal Charter was wrecked in a storm off the island of Anglesey with the loss of 450 lives. The tragedy prompted Royal Navy Vice-Admiral Robert FitzRoy (who had commanded the HMS Beagle when it carried Charles Darwin to South America) to introduce a crude system of light signals to give ships in port warning of approaching storms. It later developed into a more detailed weather service compiled by the United Kingdom’s Met Office (also founded

by FitzRoy) and first transmitted by telegraph in 1861.

The “Shipping Forecast” as we know it today has been issued every day with only brief interludes during the first and second World Wars, when it was thought it might be of use to the enemy. Although ships and most ocean-going yachts are now equipped with modern technology that provides the same weather information, seafarers still use it to check their data.

R U L E S R U L E T H E WAV E S How the forecast is written and announced is governed by a strict set of rules. It has a script of 350 to 370 words and lasts around nine minutes. The broadcaster’s rhythmic pace and clear diction, which lend the

transmission much of its popular appeal, also make it easy for a crewmember to write the information down. It is broken into 31 distinct areas with names that may seem arbitrary, but that refer to features or landmarks. Dover and Plymouth are obviously towns, but Cromarty, Forth, Tyne, Humber, Thames and Shannon are named after estuaries. Viking, Forties, Dogger, Fisher, Sole and Bailey are sandbanks, whereas Rockall, Malin, Hebrides and Bailey are islands or rocky outcrops. The forecast begins with Viking off the northeast coast of Scotland and proceeds in a clockwise direction, always in the same order.

Gale warnings and a general synopsis are given first, followed by wind direction, wind strength on the Beaufort scale, precipitation, sea state and visibility for each area. Winds at or above 33.4 knots (category 8 on the Beaufort scale) are also named for emphasis, such as Gale 8, Severe Gale 9 or Storm 10. (On January 10, 1993, when the famous Braer Storm registered a record low pressure of 914 millibars in the North Atlantic, the forecast spectacularly announced, “Southwest hurricane force 12 or more.”) Changes in wind direction are indicated by veering (clockwise) and backing (counterclockwise). Imminent means in the next six hours; soon in less than 12 hours; and later after 12 hours. Sea state is described on a scale from smooth (wave height less than a foot and a half) to phenomenal (starting at about 46 feet) with six intermediate stages. Visibility is provided as good, meaning greater than 5 nautical miles; moderate, between 2 and 5 nautical miles; poor,

FROM LEFT:

between one half and 2 nautical miles; and fog, when visibility is less than half a nautical mile. Even the times of the forecast are esoteric but exact, with broadcasts at 0048, 0520, 1201 and 1754.

Far from being obscure, to anyone familiar with the protocol—namely those whose lives might depend on it—the “Shipping Forecast” provides a precise and concise picture of the weather outlook around the shores of Britain and beyond. After jotting down the information, it is perfectly possible to compile and interpret a pressure chart for the seas of northwestern Europe.

For the majority of listeners, on the other hand, the dense jargon is an unintelligible jumble of numbers and vaguely familiar place names. Nevertheless, it resonates at a level far deeper than the hard data it contains.

Accustomed as we are to instant, round-the-clock, multimedia access to accurate weather reports, the “Shipping Forecast” harks back to an era when meteorology was a more mysterious science and the weather a scarier phenomenon. This is why many listeners find the repetitive nature of the forecast so comforting, even hypnotic, particularly during the nighttime broadcast at 0048. The effect is heightened by the instrumental music, a nondescript but gentle tune called “Sailing By” that accompanies the early morning broadcast.

“Just when sleep beckons but the mind won’t let you slip into its silken craw, the sound of another human voice, familiar yet not intrusive, reciting this mantra can be quite relaxing,” is how Peter Jefferson, who read the forecast for 40 years and wrote the book “And Now the Shipping Forecast,” described its soothing nature in a BBC interview. “Many is the time that someone has said to me, without quite realizing what they’re saying, ‘I know your voice. You’ve been sending me off to sleep for years.’”

P O W E R TO T H E P E O P L E So ingrained is the “Shipping Forecast” in British popular culture that it has inspired a long line of authors, poets, artists and musicians. The lyrics of “This Is a Low” by the rock band Blur refer to it; an extract from it accompanied by “Nimrod,” the stirring orchestral piece by Edward Elgar, was used to represent Britain’s maritime heritage during the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony in London; and Britain’s Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy finishes her poem “Prayers” with the lines: “Darkness outside. Inside, the radio’s prayer—Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre.”

Only the sea area adjoining the northern coast of Spain and the Bay of Biscay isn’t called Finisterre anymore. The decision in 2002 to rename it FitzRoy in honor of the first professional weatherman was met with howls of protest. The BBC was similarly flooded with angry phone calls as recently as May 30, 2014, when it failed to air the 0520 forecast due to a technical fault. But nothing compares with the controversy in 2011, when the transmission clashed with another tradition the English hold dear: cricket. England was about to retain the Ashes against Australia when radio coverage of the game cut away to the scheduled “Shipping Forecast.” By the time it was finished, the final wicket had fallen and the action was all over. (The uproar was similar to that of American football fans in 1968, when NBC infamously cut away from its East Coast audience, who missed a twotouchdown final minute and instead saw the start of the film “Heidi.”)

Living abroad and unaffected by these upsets, I was able to cling to more nostalgic memories of the “Shipping Forecast.” For me, instead of gales and storm-force winds, its measured and slightly soporific tones will always signify the seaside in summer, the sensation of sand between my toes, the scent of cracked leather and the sound of tires on tarmac.

here’s a degree of gumption involved any time a big-name builder decides to squeeze yet another model into a niche market that’s already bulging at the top. The truth is, the odds are heavily stacked against. Triple that for an outfit like Dyna Yachts. The 30-year-old Taiwanese yachtbuilder may be better known internationally, but is hardly a household name in North America. To win here you must bring something new, and that’s exactly what Dyna Yachts appears to have done with its 60-foot (18.2-meter) offering, a comfortable flybridge sport cruiser with a fresh take on space and volume for under $2 million.

Be warned: If you’re an introvert tending to shy away from social settings and human interaction, you can stop reading right now.

Really. Turn the page. This is not the boat for you. As the builder’s first European-inspired motoryacht, the Dyna 60 packs some nice surprises, the most immediately recognizable of which is the surplus of wide-open spaces for social gathering and entertaining. I’ll stop short of saying she’s a party boat, as that would be a huge injustice to the sophistication and elegance of the vessel, but I’ve been on a lot of midsize flybridge cruisers, and I can’t recall a single one with a layout as practical for entertaining as the Dyna 60.

Stepping into the deckhouse from the aft deck through a set of threepanel stainless steel sliding glass doors, I immediately encountered a full-service galley aft on the starboard side. It has Miele and Isotherm appliances, and a modern center island with tempered glass floating over a Corian countertop.

The galley made me think of a friendly dockside debate I’d refereed earlier in the day between colleagues, both avid weekend cruisers, about the trendy galley-aft concept popping up on the nautical landscape and whether it will succeed in the American market. If the “pro” argument is a winning one—and I believe it is—then consider the Dyna 60 as Exhibit A. With a nod to the European alfresco lifestyle courtesy of a large dining table sheltered on the aft deck by an extended flybridge overhang, the layout satisfies an American social norm. We throw parties in really big houses, yet all the guests congregate in one place: the kitchen.

It’s easy to imagine the intention behind the layout of this Dyna 60— aimed at a North American audience.

Yes, the galley takes up what would otherwise be additional salon space, but what the salon area may lack in seating, it more than makes up for with natural light and a 360-degree view thanks to large windows.

Inside, the essence is modern European, with satin-finished teak

cabinetry, leather seating and lots of glass. Handlaid surface finishes are a soothing blend of Old World craftsmanship and modern technology. The designers seem to have used every inch of her 16-foot-4-inch beam, and the general feel is airy and open, with plenty of room to entertain a large guest list. If you miss the seating, Dyna offers another layout option in which the lower salon gets a settee and sofa. The tradeoff is a smaller galley forward on the starboard side abaft the helm.

Both layouts have a forward dining area to port with wraparound seating and craftily disguised chairs.

Belowdecks accommodations include three staterooms, crew quarters aft and plenty of stowage. The full-beam master amidships is well appointed, with a king-size berth, a separate sitting area with a teak table, generous through-hull windows, hanging lockers and en suite head. A second head serves the starboard guest stateroom and the forward VIP, which has a king-size berth and a skylight. Both heads have separate, enclosed showers. Underneath the aft deck and accessed from the hydraulic swim platform, the crew

A sunpad for two is adjacent to the helm, which sports a two-person bench seat. A wet bar is standard, the Kenyon electric grill is an upgrade and the sun is free should you decline the optional hardtop. Dyna employs a triple connection method on the flybridge to ensure strength and durability while eliminating any visible seam between the seats and fiberglass cabinets. I must award points for the high bulwarks—a feature often overlooked. On a boat so primed for entertaining, it’s nice to see safety being taken into account.

For all of the lovely social space on board, you might expect the tradeoff to be the performance of a Winnebago. Fortunately, the Dyna 60 packs a decent punch. A pair of 715-hp Cummins QSM11s gave our test boat an economical 18-knot cruise burning around 47 gallons per hour at 2000 rpm. We recorded just south of 23 knots on the top end, and to the boat’s credit, because choppy sea conditions didn’t allow us to see what she’s capable of on a calmer day. We’re told 25 knots is the magic number, which of course may vary with other engine options including Caterpillar, MAN and Volvo Penta.

Her deep-V hull sliced through the waves cleanly and showed noteworthy stability through the rpm scale. She’s a pleasure to drive—responsive to the touch, with good cut and minimal slippage on the corners, which by all estimates demanded only a 50-yard turning radius at cruise.

If I’m being picky, my 6-foot frame had to duck a bit to see the horizon while running the boat standing up at the lower helm, but I’ve no complaints about the plush twin Siena leather pilot seats, an option well worth the nominal price upgrade.

The helm comes with a full array of instruments and electronics presented on anti-glare LED screens, and while the owner is free to choose his package, the Garmin displays on our test boat fit the bill nicely.

a lovely surprise, causing me to reconfirm out loud, “This is a 60-foot boat, right?” The layout is straightforward with easy access for the daily machinery checklist. Every Dyna arrives preconfigured to handle American systems.

As with any new offering in the crowded flybridge arena, the Dyna 60 and the builder’s claims about her made me skeptical at the outset of this boat test. I certainly wasn’t going to give in easily, as I’ve seen far too many of these babies come and go in the market during the past decade. But there’s a lot to like about the Dyna 60, not the least of which is the obvious thought given to how the next generation of yachtsmen might actually use a boat of her size and style. With the 60, Dyna made it easy for me to envision the cocktail parties I’d host around my open-air aft galley, the weekend adventures up on the flybridge with the kids—even the father-son bonding time well spent working in the engine room. The Dyna 60 is a boat made for the modern American yachting lifestyle.

If you’re short on friends to help you use her, it shouldn’t be hard to meet a few when you bring her into the marina.

BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO OLDER BOATS.

ANDREW PARKINSON

The term ‘refit’ can be nebulous. A refit can involve a broad range of boat work from new paint and upholstery to electrical and mechanical upgrades to lengthened hulls, major restorations or total transformations. The range of yards that do such work is broad as well. Some are one-stop shops with in-house crews, while others are do-ityourself operations where owners or captains use basic yard facilities and hire contractors to do what’s necessary. Some are large, some are small. Some can accommodate only small boats, while others specialize in superyachts. No matter what your needs, a reputable yard and skilled hands can make your boat as good as new or better.

A cool fusion of a Westship 106 and a Donzi 80, Hello Dolly VII also borrows concepts the owner liked from the larger Westport 112s and 130s.

Acquisition and Merger WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU MARRY A CRUISING-YACHT HULL WITH A SPORTFISH SUPERSTRUCTURE? ONE FAMILY’S DREAM BOAT.

By Andrew Parkinson

“Let me get this straight,” I said, shifting in my seat while straining for clarity. “You put a what? On a what?”

On the other side of the table, Tom Glass, vice president at Roscioli Yachting Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, paused— letting the questions sink in—before conceding, “Let’s just say it wasn’t your ordinary work order.”

The term “refit” may refer to any number of yacht refurbishments, from interior redesign to new engines to system overhauls, but this particularly adventurous Roscioli client raised the bar. He decided to turn his 106-foot (32.3-meter) Westship raised pilothouse into a trideck superyacht.

It’s a vision that does not seem totally out of the realm of possibility. That is, until you consider his muse was a Donzi sportfish.

“It all started when the father, Mr. Gray, Sr., came to us after being a Hatteras fan for many years,” Glass said, thinking about the various yachts the family has owned during the past quartercentury. “The men of the family are all about 6-foot-6, and when it was time to trade up, they requested [from Hatteras] certain customizations, starting with longer bunks.” Being a production yard at the time, Hatteras declined the change orders. Gray then approached Bob Roscioli of Roscioli Yachting Center, a yard known for semi-custom work. Roscioli agreed to the build order, and the Gray family ordered a semi-custom Donzi 65, which served them well—and still does today. When the time came again to upsize, Roscioli was at the top of the list.

A number of factors contributed to the Gray family’s choice of a Westship 106. They looked at and appreciated several features on Westport 112s and 130s, but their slip on Florida’s Gulf Coast could handle no more than 110 feet of length overall. They also wanted to

continue cruising and fishing their favorite grounds—the Bahamas and the Keys—which required a fairly shallow draft. Ultimately, the Grays determined that a Westship 106 with a 5-foot-10-inch draft would serve their purposes with a few adjustments.

“We knew we would make some changes to Hello Dolly VII, but decided to hold off for about a year,” said Michael Gray, one of the sons. “After using the boat for a few months, we determined we needed a sky lounge, and with our sportfishing heritage, when you start talking sky lounge, then you start thinking, ‘Okay, let’s put something on top of that sky lounge: a flybridge.’”

After what Glass calls some “imagineering” by Gray and his brothers, and a crude cut-and-paste drawing on a single piece of paper, it was game on.

“I thought, Why can’t we just put a sportfish salon on top of the main deck?” Gray said. “So I measured the salon of a Donzi 73. It was about 6 inches too narrow, so I measured up the 80, which was within half an inch, so I asked Tom [Glass] to send me a concept.”

There were no formal plans at the outset. “You’re building to a rule that doesn’t exist, so it was kind of shot from the hip,” Glass said. “We built a one-off mold of the 80 that would fit exactly. Then it was just making

Roscioli spent countless hours making the necessary adjustments to fit the integration of the added sky lounge (right) and flybridge.

‘Yachting is so different from boating. It’s like having a whole business, whereas when you’re boating, it’s just you, the wind and the elements.’

—Michael Gray the necessary adjustments to meet the family’s needs, such as raising the freeboard and increasing the bulwark 19 inches, which allowed more privacy on the bow, where the hot tub was to be relocated. We added steps across the bow to new lounge areas forward of the flybridge and the new pilothouse, where a Portuguese bridge was also installed.”

On paper, the finished interior layout benefited from spiral staircases, a roomy pilothouse with a reverse windshield, the sky lounge, an open-air flybridge with a hardtop, and true crew quarters.

“The main difference we found between the 106 and the 112 was crew quarters, which we configured in the footprint of the old pilothouse,” Gray said. “We didn’t visualize in the beginning it would be all that important, but it turned out to be really important. It’s unusual to be able to house four crewmembers in a humane way on a 106.”

According to Gray, the key was making it all pretty. “We didn’t think Bob (Roscioli) would sign on to doing this project if he had any doubt it would look beautiful in the end,” said Gray. Countless hours were spent reshaping and fairing the lines. Additionally, the 7.2 tons of weight added to the boat would most certainly affect performance, which Virginiabased naval architect Donald Blount addressed during sea trials. Part of the solution came in the form of a Seakeeper gyro, which effectively

aided in both the yacht’s performance and her stabilization.

After 15 months and somewhere north of $2 million, the Gray family couldn’t be happier with their decision to refit.

“Looking back, a Westport 112 at the time was about $6 million more than it cost us to do this deal,” Gray said. “And now we have an easily driven hull with good pedigree, great living spaces, a shallow draft: It’s everything we wanted.”

Admittedly still getting used to having a crew, Gray has found the hardest part is learning to be what he calls a “yachter,” as opposed to a boater.

“For me, yachting is so different from boating,” Gray said. “It’s socially more complex. It’s like having a whole business, whereas when you’re boating, it’s just you, the wind and the elements.”

Staring out at the horizon from the flybridge of his shiny new creation, his voice trails off. After a moment’s pause, he glances back with a twinkle in his eye.

“But what I thought was fun when I was 35, I’m changing my opinion at 55,” he adds. “Maybe I can learn to be a yachter.”

A WORLD-WANDERING EXPEDITION-YACHT OWNER FINDS PEACE OF MIND AFTER A TECHNICAL OVERHAUL.

By Jill Bobrow In a refit landscape chock-full of transformational “Cinderella” stories where the pumpkin turns into a golden carriage, mice turn into horses and lizards become footmen, a large number of yachts undergo more technical overhauls—perhaps less sensational, but major nonetheless. Such was the case of 147-foot (45-meter) Cheoy Lee Dorothea III. Millions of dollars were spent on new systems, equipment and appliances, but the majority of the pixie dust settled belowdecks, well out of sight.

Twice in the past five years, Dorothea III entered Derecktor Shipyard in Dania Beach, Florida, each time returning better than new the first time. To the casual onlooker, only the fresh paint job might be discernable. The first refit was in 2011, prior to an around-the-world voyage. The second was a few months ago, when she returned for a pick-me-up before setting out on yet another world-wandering voyage.

Dorothea III launched in 2007 from MCC/Cheoy Lee as the

Ron Holland-designed Marco Polo. The original owner used her for several years. The Greens, an experienced yachting family from the Pacific Northwest, purchased her in 2011 to explore the remote corners of the world. Since the yacht had been sitting idle for several years, the Greens and their captain of more than a decade, John Crupi, wanted to ensure she was in prime shape for the rigors of that type of voyage. Derecktor Shipyard handled all items on the purchase survey list, as well as installation of Quantum Zero Speed stabilization, fabrication of hydraulic tender bay hatches, application of new paint and upgrade of electronics.

In September 2014, after the yacht’s three-and-a-half-year sojourn, Crupi flew to Derecktor to meet with project manager Galloway Selby. With him, Crupi carried a thick manual outlining new requirements.

“We ordered all the parts and had everything waiting here in a warehouse when he brought the yacht to the yard six months later,” Shelby recalled. “That list included engine coupling, brand-new generators and mounts, tank cleaning, rebuilding of pumps, new engine exhaust, bottom paint, keel coolers, condensers, compressors, hydraulics, new sewage system, new washers and dryers, all new kitchen equipment, fridges, freezers and much more.”

Dorothea III has seen more of the remote corners of the world than most yachts will ever see.

CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: The

captain says the glossy new paint job is better than one would get at an exotic car dealer. The engine room was completely overhauled with many new systems put in place.

Crupi said the work list would have easily taken six months to complete anywhere else, crediting Derecktor with accomplishing every item in a first-class manner in just four months. According to Crupi, if the yard encountered complications with any specific task, it called in specialists to “get it done right.”

“More than just a tribute to our yard, it’s a testament to the quality and breadth of specialist subcontractors we have in South Florida,” said James Brewer, longtime sales and marketing manager at Derecktor. “We have a large pool of experts here.”

Dorothea III has seen more of the remote corners of the world than most yachts will ever see. Completely self-sufficient whether cruising or at anchor, she has not once needed to hook up to shorepower. Her generators have operated around the clock for more than three years now and while they are working well, it is time for normal maintenance.

“On average, we were on the move about 14 days a month,” Crupi said. The yacht towed a 32-foot Cabo, which complicated itineraries and required planning for every nautical mile.

For her next adventure, Dorothea III will continue to visit the world’s top sportfishing destinations, and the Greens have upgraded the Cabo to a 45-foot Hatteras.

“Dorothea III’s program is the dream that everyone talks about and never does,” Crupi said. “We logged 65,000 miles and visited 52 countries, and now we are going back for more.”

With two Atlantic crossings completed and extended voyages in the North and South Pacific, the refitted Dorothea III has performed beyond expectation. The Greens and Crupi are confident they now have the perfect expedition vessel for exotic travel.

Perhaps most important, of course, is their peace of mind that, when called upon, all systems will be go.

THE ECO-SENSITIVE ARCADIA 85 REWRITES THE BOOK ON CRUISING YACHT DESIGN.

BY ANDREW PARKINSON

FEBRUARY 2016

F

requent enough boat shows and you’ll quickly learn the landscape. While newer models constantly replace older ones, the general cast of characters remains the same.

There are the sexy sport cruisers with their Mediterranean flair, the sturdy sportfishing boats with tall tuna towers and shiny teak mezzanines, and the spectacular superyachts spilling opulence from their transoms onto the adoring throngs of passers-by. Once in a while, however, you’ll happen upon something you’ve never seen— something that stops you and leaves you thinking, What the (bleep)?

My most recent such encounter involved a radical design brought to North America by Italian builder Arcadia Yachts. Posing stern-to the docks at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show last fall, Arcadia’s 85-foot introductory offering to the western hemisphere stood out like a cannoli at a Weight Watchers clinic. Far beyond her uber-conspicuous metallic gray hull with lime-green accents, her lines seemed uncanny—perhaps more barge than Bristol—and on the edge of becoming a punch line for more than a few showgoers.

But for those willing to swallow preconceived notions of what a yacht should or shouldn’t look like, going aboard brought tangible rewards.

The Arcadia 85 is unusual by design. Conceived through the youthful creativity of Arcadia’s chief engineer and designer, Francesco Guida, the yacht is something of a paradox—simple and understated, yet highly inventive and technologically sophisticated.

Her calling card is a trifecta of indoor and outdoor living, ecofriendly performance and modish luxury.

Designed primarily as a family yacht, the 85’s main deck has continuity between interior and exterior living areas. The layout is perfect to accommodate a large group, and the ambience is open and spread out rather than confined. While the linear design of the superstructure and extra-wide beam lack any semblance of more traditional nautical lines, they do take advantage of every inch of usable space, making the Arcadia feel like a much larger vessel than her LOA suggests.

“The interior volume of this boat has been a showstopper since her arrival,” said Dean Young of Arcadia’s North American BELOW:

distributor, HMY Yachts. “Arcadia set out to allow as much natural light into the interior spaces as possible.”

This is evidenced in the deckhouse, where floor-to-ceiling windows and large sliding glass doors to the side decks invite the outside elements inside to the salon and dining area. The 85 also has a modular interior filled with modern “Made in Italy” furnishings by some of the betterknown European brands such as Poltrona Frau, Cassina and Schiffini.

Arcadia’s branding is heavily rooted in its eco-friendly values, and the 85 integrates solar energy through 431 square feet of photovoltaic panels. Each panel is composed of hundreds of high-performance solar cells that provide enough energy to run the onboard systems. There’s a lot to like about the idea of being anchored in a cozy Caribbean cove with all systems running, enjoying an alfresco meal on the aft deck, minus the sounds and smells of a generator.

I know what you’re probably thinking: We’ve all been sold on solar at one time or another, only to be underwhelmed by the actual product. (I’m looking at you, solar-powered lantern of the ’90s, always running out of juice at the most inopportune moments.) To Arcadia’s credit, the customer feedback I’ve been privy to affirms that these panels do what the builder promises.

Whereas the physics involved with the concept of an all-glass salon might conjure thoughts of a steamy greenhouse effect, the reality is far from it thanks to double-glazed panels in the superstructure. They actually insulate the living space with an insideoutside temperature differential of up to nearly 65 degrees—which is of course a technical extreme, not the norm. Aesthetically, the effect is as pleasing as the physical one, casting a distinctive thatch pattern of natural light that is both modish and elegant.

The yacht’s four guest staterooms are belowdecks, where the feeling is also unusually airy. In the corridor, a textured wall of stone sets a cool, organic tone in an area that might normally feel claustrophobic on a yacht this size. Amidships, the full-beam owner’s stateroom has satin- and gloss-finished woods in a contemporary balance of pale and dark tones that seem to pop with just the right

powered platform supply vessels portend a paradigm shift in yacht propulsion?

FEBRUARY 2016

The extant technology behind the Harvey Energy’s pods helped drive the introduction of pod-type propulsion for recreational boats a decade ago.

A

s the primary staging area for oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, Port Fourchon, Louisiana, is both a raw, end-of-the-world sort of place and a focal point of modern technology, some of it teetering on the brink of science fiction. Driving into town, I saw giant, dinosaur-like tower cranes dotting the landscape along with jagged-tooth jackup rigs. A variety of platform supply vessels (PSVs) came and went, plying the canals and bayous that lead off into the Gulf.

Of course, given the low, marshy flatness of the area, I had no trouble finding what I was looking for. Harvey Energy, at 302 feet (92 meters), towered over everything around Harvey Gulf International Marine’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunkering facility, a $25 million extravaganza still under construction, the first of its kind in the United States. Harvey’s security honcho, Dain Detillier, met me at the gate, proffering a hard hat, safety glasses and a work vest.

“Heah,” he said in an accent that was unmistakably Cajun, albeit most likely high-tech Cajun, given the circumstances. “They’re gonna start fueling LNG in a couple of hours. Capt. Pacy’s waitin’ on us, though. He wants to show you around.”

The yard near the dock was abuzz. Two tanker trucks were already parked alongside Harvey Energy. Guys in neon-green hard hats worked at the rear of one of them, connecting insulated hoses while wearing special gray tunics and thick, blue, protective gloves and aprons. Liquefying and transporting natural gas means extremely cold temperatures, often in the decidedly unfriendly neighborhood of minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit.

I followed Detillier up a steel gangway to Harvey Energy’s aft deck. As soon as I got there, a guy in a red jumpsuit shoved a clipboard my way—one of several formalities designed to guarantee safety and security. I signed without reading the fine print.

steel bow of Harvey Energy and finished with her two huge, fully nozzled, LIPS azimuthing propellers dangling over our heads. A cylindrical tank on temporary chocks off in the distance beckoned.

The tank was easily 100 feet (30.4 meters) long and about as high as the average ranch house.

“That’s the LNG tank for this one,” Smith said, jerking his thumb upward. “Lockheed Martin built it for us. We’re gonna need six of them for six boats.”

Smith went on to extoll the virtues of LNG. He began with emissions. Burning LNG in an engine instead of diesel, he explained, cuts nitrogen oxide emissions by 85 percent, eliminates sulfur dioxide (because LNG contains no sulfur), reduces the discharge of carbon dioxide (since LNG contains much less carbon than diesel fuel) and virtually eliminates soot and other particulates.

Economics came next. LNG is plentiful in North America, Smith said, and is therefore likely to be much cheaper than diesel in the future. Moreover, it tends to stretch maintenance intervals (particularly for engine cylinder liners and covers) thanks to the exceptionally clean combustion it engenders.

Finally, Smith bore down on eco-friendliness. All six of the LNG vessels would be owned by Harvey, and built and operated to Green Passport and Enviro+ standards promulgated by the American Bureau of Shipping. These eco-friendly standards would be critical, Smith added, since at least three of the vessels have been chartered to Royal Dutch Shell. Those will be used initially in the Gulf of Mexico, but with an eye toward future applications all over the world including extremely sensitive environments such as the Arctic. The Arctic is a

Safe bunkering of LNG calls for protective clothing, loose fire-resistant gloves and perhaps a face shield. Workers who come into contact with metal or composite hoses and pipes at cryogenic temperatures may suffer skin damage.

Close monitoring is necessary during bunkering; LNG tends to heat and pressurize constantly because of its extremely low temperature.

Although LNG is increasingly attractive in terms of economics, it has only 60 percent of the power density of diesel. This means stowage tanks for LNG tend to be larger, a potential drawback for certain smaller yacht applications.

GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK A couple of years prior, during a visit to Trinity Yachts in Gulfport, Mississippi (which Harvey Gulf International Marine acquired last summer), one of Trinity’s vice presidents at the time, Billy Smith, had offered to show me “a little commercial-type side project” he said might well change the way yachts are built and propelled during the 21st century. Our tour began beneath the six-story, unpainted

Evolving a yacht from a platform supply vessel is not an especially far-fetched concept. Oil field technology trickles down to yachts all the time.

spot where minimizing cumulative total emissions—from yachts as well as rigs—would be crucial, not only because it would facilitate regulatory compliance, but also because it would cut fuel, maintenance, environmental and other costs.

“These boats will be greener than green,” Smith said, “which is something that’s increasingly popular on yachts these days. In fact, we’re going to offer an exploration-style LNG yacht based on this PSV design, with plenty of space for tenders, helicopters, water toys and even an A-frame for subs. We already have a couple of potential customers.”

TRICKLE-DOWN TECH Evolving a yacht from a PSV is not an especially far-fetched concept. Indeed, oil field technology trickles down to yachts all the time. Supply vessels, after all, had rudimentary versions of modern dynamic positioning and pod propulsion as far back as the 1960s.

Only during the past decade or so have these technologies begun to thrive within the yachting realm.

YACHTS INTERNATIONAL

The origin of the oil field’s trickle-down sophistication, of course, is money. The amounts of cold, hard cash that energy companies like Royal Dutch Shell are spending to squeeze the last, sticky vestiges of oil and gas from the planet are simply stunning (Shell’s net capital investment in 2014 was reportedly $24 billion). Yet one thing’s for sure: Regardless of where you stand on the environmental, social and moral complexities involved, some of the expensive advances being made in oil field technology today are going to benefit lots of people tomorrow, yacht owners included.

Harvey Energy’s Green Passport certification is a good example of just such a benefit. It specifies a precise inventory of all the hazardous materials used to build and operate the vessel, a measure that boosts crew safety, helps protect the environment and ultimately makes the recycling of the vessel safer. Will Green Passport or some similar program become de rigueur for yachts?

Chances are pretty good, I’d say.

And then there’s Harvey Energy’s Enviro+ designation. With the creation of its $360 million LNG fleet (that’s a half-dozen vessels

yachtsinternational.com

Wärtsilä’s 3,365-horsepower 6L 34DF genset (one of three on board 302-foot Harvey Energy) is a four-stroke, dual-fuel engine that is turbocharged and electronically controlled, with each cylinder receiving a precisely calibrated fuel-air mixture. Engine speed is either 720 rpm or 750 rpm depending on whether 50 Hz or 60 Hz is needed. The engine produces the same power output whether it operates on gas, diesel fuel or both fuels simultaneously.

at $60 million each), Harvey is the first U.S. oil field company to build to both Green Passport and Enviro+ standards, and is reportedly paying an extra $4 million per vessel for the privilege. More than simply tracking what goes into the construction and operation of a given boat, Enviro+ mandates the presence of a trained environmental officer on board at all times, a sanitary system approved by the International Maritime Organization, the use of biocide-free antifouling and other paints, incinerators for trash, super-sensitive oily-water separation equipment, onboard refrigerant recovery units and LED lights.

Will Enviro+ or some similar program become de rigueur for yachts as well? Again, chances are pretty good, I’d say.

HINTS OF THE TRADITIONAL When Detillier and I entered Harvey Energy’s wheelhouse, Capt.

David Pacy stood near the after control station, some five stories above the aft deck, looking down through a tall, thumb-thick window at the tank trucks below. A young fellow stood alongside him:

Dual-fuel engines from Wärtsilä can seamlessly switch back and forth between LNG and full-diesel operation. In LNG mode, fuel enters the cylinders in a gaseous form via a common-rail delivery system after passing through a filtration module that guarantees fuel cleanliness, and a gas vaporization unit that regulates pressure and provides a safe disconnect. When in diesel mode, the engine operates like a conventional diesel.

Lt. Dallas Smith, a U.S. Coast Guard LNG expert who’d come aboard to monitor the bunkering operation as part of the Coast Guard’s ongoing push to create official regulations and standards for the safe and efficient marine transfer of LNG. As Detillier dealt with introductions, I sized the place up, basing my impressions upon the years I’d spent running smaller, simpler PSVs in the Gulf some three decades earlier. It didn’t take long to draw a heartfelt, nostalgia-tinged conclusion: Harvey Energy’s bridge was more like a rocket ship’s than anything I could even vaguely remember. It had phalanxes of commercial-grade Furuno multifunction devices at both the forward and after control stations; a computer terminal area with phones, cushy chairs and Corian countertops; and the joysticks and other paraphernalia associated with a Kongsberg dynamic positioning system that relies on downto-the-inch-precise Differential GPS, laser and infrared stationkeeping technology, a couple of Sperry gyrocompasses and a raft of sensors that, in addition to helping maintain heading and position, even in high seas, can efficiently cut surge, sway and yaw.

I was gratified to see some traditional touches, however, among them a large chart table complete with a so-called “block chart” under a sheet of clear Lexan to facilitate navigation with an erasable Sharpie.

I was also gratified to see that Pacy evinced a few traditional touches himself. On the one hand, the captain was obviously a total technophile, with all the poise and intelligence it takes to command the first dual-fuel, LNG-powered, U.S.-flagged workboat.

But on the other hand, he was also the epitome of a supply-boat captain, appearance-wise, thanks to some salty gray facial hair, a set of immense forearms bearing nautical-themed tattoos and a gold chain with a stylized anchor hanging around his neck.

AUTOMATIC, IMMEDIATE, SEAMLESS We spent a couple of hours doing a walk-through of Harvey Energy’s engine room, a multilevel place that houses three 3,365-horsepower Wärtsilä 6L 34DF dual-fuel generators forward, a matched set of 3,618-horsepower Alconza electric motors driving the aforementioned fully nozzled, LIPS azimuthing thrusters aft, and a phantasmagoria of machines and tanks for LNG, diesel fuel, potable water, liquid drilling mud, methanol and dry bulk.

While leading the way, Pacy enthused about the fuel that made Harvey Energy so different from all the other PSVs then so

assiduously plying the Gulf of Mexico.

“The wear and tear on the engines is less with LNG because it’s way cleaner than diesel,” he said. “We gotta deal with no soot on the boat at all. None.”

Pacy went on to describe a facet of the Wärtsilä dual-fuel system that is somewhat unusual but, he said, “never problematic.”

Because a surfeit of LNG is always present in the piping that connects Harvey Energy’s gas vaporization units (which warm and gasify extremely cold LNG) to their dedicated 6L 34DF generators, stopping the vessel on short notice sometimes requires that the entire power plant be momentarily switched to diesel, a fuel type that produces near-instant, versus gradual, engine response.

“Let’s say I got a shrimp boat crossing my bow and I gotta put the brakes on in a hurry,” Pacy said. “The Wärtsilä system immediately trips to faster-reacting diesel power—it’s automatic, immediate and seamless.

Without checking the instruments, you can’t even tell it’s happening.”

Economy was the last point Pacy emphasized during our walkthrough. Although diesel fuel was comparatively inexpensive at the time of my visit, it was, according to Pacy, still costing Harvey Gulf International Marine just a tad more than LNG. (LNG does burn at a slightly higher rate than diesel.)

“And due to this no-particulate-emissions thing,” he added, “I’m thinking that LNG will not only be the cheapest way to go in terms

The capacity of Harvey Energy’s stainless steel LNG fuel tank is 76,600 gallons. It is double-walled, vacuum-insulated and, when touched, does not even feel cool despite the minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit temperature of the fluid inside. Stainless is used for tanks and piping because LNG embrittles other materials.

To boost lower-deck cargo tank carrying capacities, the three 3,365-horsepower Wärtsilä dual-fuel gensets are located on the main deck, not below.

STILL A HARD-SELL, BUT… Of course, the folks at Trinity Yachts are not the only big-time fans of LNG. More to the point, some three years ago, Monacobased Stefano Pastrovich, the designer behind the trendsetting WallyPower 118 and other Wally vessels, introduced a 325-foot (99-meter) dual-fuel LNG yacht that Italian shipyard Fincantieri (which has launched a number of LNG-powered commercial vessels during the past few years) was prepared to build. Pastrovich calls her Xvintage.

“But at that time and even today,” Pastrovich said, “there are no regulations or standards for fueling such a yacht, and not so much infrastructure—and this makes buyers uncomfortable. The superyacht market is very conservative. So no one wants to be first to try LNG, even though there are no technical reasons why it will not succeed, especially in Europe where LNG for marine use is perhaps more accepted and available right now. So sadly we have never built the yacht yet.”

I watched Harvey Energy’s LNG bunkering operation from both her wheelhouse and the control module in her engine room. It’s a

sight to see, for sure, compared with the views at a regular yacht fuel dock. With chief engineer Dwain Brooks and his engineering team gravely but calmly overseeing the entire thing, the transfer of approximately 20,000 gallons of cryogenic fluid from the two trucks took just about three hours. The process seemed to go smoothly.

But then, at its conclusion, the same issues that pestered Pastrovich were starting to pester me. Exactly how, in the absence of sanctioned, standardized procedures, would a yacht’s crew be able to deal safely with a bunkering operation that entails temperatures of minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit? And where, exactly, would such bunkering take place?

With the can-do attitude that characterizes oil field guys the world over, Detillier made short work of both concerns during a meal we shared with Harvey Energy’s crew. “Think about it Bill,” he said. “Right now, with the boats and this new bunkering facility, Harvey’s got a very, very substantial amount of money invested in LNG. So trust me, man. The regulations and the infrastructure— they’re gonna come.”

“Good point,” I replied as the peach cobbler came around. “And hey, once you guys get LNG going big-time in the oil field, I can certainly see yachts comin’ next.”

Where Local Knowledge Rules In the Bahamas, some charter yachts offer experiences that others can’t find.

obody else was there. I mean nobody, not even an errant gull or crab. My toes sank into the warm, white sand, and I looked out at a perfect, horseshoe-shaped harbor carved by the impossibly turquoise salt water. Surf lapped. Breezes whispered. Palm fronds rustled. Even my charter yacht’s anchor rode respected the silence, with nary a jangle as it held snug just a couple hundred yards away.

This was the Bahamas at its best—the Exumas archipelago, just south of Nassau in an exact location I swore to the captain I’d never reveal, lest his future charter guests be forced to share it.

(Imagine the shattering sound of an outboard as another tender approached.) The only reason I was lucky enough to enjoy that spot was because the captain had amassed years of local knowledge, not just of the Bahamian islands and tides and such, but also of the general traffic patterns with other boats. He knew not only where to go, but also when to go, to create truly special memories.

Of course, most captains have their favorite spots from New England straight down to Grenada (See “Hidden Agendas,” September/October 2015), but intimate knowledge of a destination can enhance the charter experience in exquisitely memorable ways. This is as true in the Bahamas as anywhere else, with most yachts chartering throughout the archipelago while en

route to or from another home port, perhaps Antigua or south Florida.

Only a handful of charter yachts call the Bahamas home year-round, giving their captains and crews time to explore deep within the nooks and crannies.

That deep level of local knowledge is something Northrop and Johnson is attempting to corner with its new Bahamas Collection, which is being marketed as the largest group of Bahamas-based yachts available for charter with any company worldwide. The nine motoryachts—ranging from 95 feet (28.9 meters) to 143 feet (43.5 meters) length overall—are available in the Bahamas year-round, gathering intel like the whereabouts of that beach (I’ll never tell) to benefit charter clients.

“Our boats specialize in the Exumas,” says Rod Lindor, who manages the fleet. “A couple of the boats do special itineraries because one captain, on the 132 Northcoast Sea Dreams, has access to a private island.”

That captain is Peter Vazquez, who has chartered in the Bahamas for nearly 14 years and bases year-round at Nassau Yacht Haven Marina. He particularly enjoys having clients aboard who think they’ve seen everything the Bahamas has to offer, because he knows he can surprise them.

“We have at least a half-dozen places where, in 10 years, we haven’t seen any footprints but our own; no other yachts or crew,” Vazquez says.

“There are just some spots that you have to live here to know about.”

One of his favorite things to do with adventurous guests is drop the personal watercraft into the water alongside the yacht’s 34-foot (10.3-meter) Jupiter tender and have crew “run the islands” with guests just 20 to 30 feet off the beaches, reuniting with Sea Dreams for lunch. “You have to really know the waters well to take people down the islands,” he says, “hugging them that close.”

And just like me, Vazquez has one ultimate spot that he says

takes not only the guests’ breath away, but also the crew’s, no matter how many times they go.

“We’ve now done two wedding proposals and two burials at sea there,” he says. “That’s how special this spot is. We have to anchor the tender off and shuttle the guests by Jet Ski. As we come around this hidden turn, it’s the most breathtaking place in the world.”

Where exactly is it? Near my favorite Exumas beach, perhaps?

Only charter guests aboard Sea Dreams will ever find out. Vazquez says without apology, “I’m obviously not telling you where.”

Stretching does not need to include four walls, incense and a guru. Your boat can be your “studio.” No allotted time is too little to enjoy the space between the rush of schedules. Relax, kick back and stretch. The poses shown here are suggestions, and many more may work for your needs.

The real teacher—the one inside you—will guide you to better balance. Take your time and remember that yoga is referred to as a “practice” because it’s a constantly shifting, evolving thing.

DOWNWARD-FACING DOG It’s no wonder adho mukha svanasana (Sanskrit for “downward-facing dog”) is often referred to as the one yoga pose you should choose, if you could choose only one daily. It stretches many major muscle groups and is grounding in its layers of contact with the deck. If your space is limited, use the yacht’s rails, an extra line or whatever else you have on board for props. You’ll be thankful for the additional support (particularly if the seas and wind are up). Take your time in all transitions, not just because you’re balancing on the water, but because yoga should feel good. Place your hands on the rail or on the deck, at least shoulder distance apart. Walk your feet back so the arms are straight.

Send the hips back to stretch the spine long, and take stock of your hips and hamstrings. Feel it: As part of the stretch, your upper chest should get closer to the deck. Now maintain this pose for a few breaths and, with your eyes turned down, reflect on the stretch. Where do you feel tight? Are you holding any tension? Perhaps in your neck and face? You may be surprised what you’ll find.

So should it be with your body, especially if you’re spending any great length of time on board. The balance, strength and flexibility inherent to yoga may help you find your way through the shifty winds, rugged seas and other challenges.

LUNGE

TWIST

With your hands still on the rail or on the deck (from downward-facing dog), bring your right foot in front of you and scoot the other foot back. Stretch out through your forward knee until it finds its way over the heel. From the hip, lift the rear thigh way up and press back through the heel, straightening the back leg. Hold it: Breathe in and out gently through your nose as you strengthen quad and stretch hip, calf, heel and muscles between the toes that can stiffen after a long ride. Stay here and close your eyes for a beat.

Keeping the shape of the legs (from lunge), reach the right arm up, with your palm facing away. Stay with it: Your gaze may stay down or turn toward the horizon or up to the sky. Check in with the neck, as an extension of the spine, to help with that decision. The twist occurs here in the upper back and shoulder. The spine should feel refreshed. Look down and step the back leg forward, and then the front leg back, and repeat the lunge and twist on the other side. As a variation if the boat’s movement challenges your balance, drop the back knee down to the floor.

SIDE PLANK Grab the boat’s rail, stack shoulders over the wrists and turn to the outer rim on your right foot, stacking hip over hip. The left foot may “drop anchor” in front of the right shin. Lift hips to maintain one long line from the feet to the crown of the head and engage the obliques, which are along the sides of your core. Keep breathing. Lift the left arm over the ear as side ribs decompress from all that time spent sitting at the helm.

One hand or two hands can stretch up or hold a rail for support. Press your feet down evenly to stand up, slowly, to full height. Take a quad stretch by reaching the right arm back to the right, lifted foot and gently pressing that foot back into the hand. Keep it up.

Hunching over a split-screen display all day or night and watching radar and AIS targets in conditions with reduced visibility makes your body cry out out for a shoulder stretch. Reach hands, with palms facing forward, behind your back, checking in with any feedback from your rotator cuff. Turn palms to face one another and interlace your fingers behind your back. Reach your hands away from your lower back and peel open your chest to the sky. Loosen up: Tight shoulders could lead to neck or back problems, so consider adding a neck stretch like dropping ear to shoulder while hands are interlaced or gazing over one shoulder and then the other.

Or with a line, reach the arms forward as the hands move away. Then reach the arms up overhead and back. Next, place the right hand next to the right hip, and stretch the left arm overhead. Or using the line, elevate it overhead and hinge over to the right, hands moving away from each other. Gaze can turn up to the top arm. Repeat on the other side.

LUDVIG SVENSSON

N

ot every yacht chef is a seasoned veteran with years of culinary experience and a curriculum vitae touting Michelin-star restaurants and well-known superyachts. Frida Eklund, chef on 100-foot (30.5meter) Ferri Cantieri Navali sailing yacht Jupiter, is in fact a newbie to the field. Blonde and blue eyed with a beautiful smile, Eklund presents a pictureperfect Swedish ingénue. Our initial conversation was quite tentative. However, she holds her ground. At age 25, she has assumed tremendous responsibility for keeping the American owners of Jupiter happy—they have four kids, some the same age as Eklund and her captain, Zachary Wallen— not to mention the yacht’s charter guests.

Growing up with her parents and three sisters in the copper-mining town of Falun in Dalarna County, Sweden (which she insists is the most Swedish part of Sweden), Eklund had no aspirations of being a yacht chef. “My friends and family were very surprised by my life choice,” she recalled with a laugh. Her childhood dream was to be a dancer, so her culinary career was more by fluke than by design. She is the only member of her family who has taken to the sea. In 2013, she accepted a summer job in Greece on a whim working as a hostess for a Swedish company that ran 40- to 50-foot sailing yachts. When the opportunity to cook full time on a yacht presented itself, Eklund thought, Why not?

She’d always enjoyed dabbling with cooking at home, and she knew how to create the traditional Swedish dishes of herring, potatoes and gravlax. She quickly gained a real interest in food experimentation. After determining that being a yacht chef was a viable career path, she took a Le Cordon Bleu course in Chicago, and then trained one-on-one with a yacht chef.

While Eklund’s natural proclivities are for seafood and health-inspired fare, she also loves to bake. Her muffins, cakes and cookies have a distinctly Swedish flair, often utilizing a special home brew of cloudberry jam (hjortronsylt)—a special berry related to raspberries. These wild berries are harvested in the north of Sweden and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants.

Eklund’s cuisine is eternally evolving, with her palate inspired by travels in Norway, Spain, France, French Polynesia and the Caribbean. She reads about food like someone might read novels, and she conducts a lot of online research.

Her modest nature precludes her from claiming to know it all.

And what Eklund doesn’t know, she is determined to find out. At last year’s Newport Charter Yacht Show chef ’s competition, she was required to make a vegan dish. With no experience in that cuisine, she persevered, placing third among stiff competition. One can only assume a great deal of talent helped her as much as her research did.

fter the holidays, many pledge the popular New Year’s resolution to lose weight. Chef Eklund’s menu combines terrific flavors utilizing fruits and vegetables. I can’t think of a better way to kick off a new year of healthy eating.

For the citrus crab verrine starter, the Morgenhof Estate sauvignon blanc from Stellenbosch, South Africa, 2014, is a versatile wine that can act as an aperitif as well as a pairing. With notes of candied lime, green apple Jolly Rancher and gooseberry, the palate is structured, carrying over the same fruity notes, but with hints of mineral to match the crab in the dish.

The corn and golden beet soup is perfect in tandem with the Michel Paquet Domaine des The Wines Velanges Mâcon-Prissé Les Clos, Burgundy, Morgenhof Estate France, 2013. This chardonnay comes from Sauvignon Blanc, 25-year-old, estate-grown vines aged in stainless Stellenbosch, South steel for seven months. It has intense aromas of Africa, 2014, $14.99 anjou pear, green apple and green melon with a Michel Paquet hint of creaminess that works beautifully with Domaine des the corn.

On the finish are Burgundy, France, notes of almond and mineral.

2013, $20.99 The salmon fillet pairs nicely with the Domaine de Domaine de Durban Gigondas, Southern Rhône Durban Gigondas, Valley, France, 2013. This elegant rustic red is Southern Rhône made from 70 percent grenache and 30 percent Valley, France, 2013, syrah. The aromas of dried red berry fruits with $26.99 pomegranate, cranberry and black cherry will Florio Targa hold up to the structure and oily notes of the fish. Marsala Superiore, The wine is medium-bodied with flavors of black Sicily, Italy, 2002, plum, black raspberry and dried cherry, with over500ml, $36.99 tones of black truffle and forest mushroom.

With the blueberry lemon cheesecake, the Florio Targa Marsala Superiore, Sicily, Italy, 2002, is a great pairing. This decadent marsala is made from 100 percent grillo grapes—indigenous to the region. The wine is fortified with brandy grape spirit, which halts the fermentation, leaving a rich pleasure of dates, fig, cooked plum and apricot with unforgettable notes of almond and hazelnut on the long finish.

Shakedown Cruise

FROM THE EDWIN LEVICK COLLECTION, THE MARINERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MUSEUM, NEWPORT NEWS, VIRGINIA

The pleasures of owning a boat have changed little over the decades. Noted marine chronicler Edwin Levick took this photo in 1936 as part of a series showing a couple with a child launching and using their new boat. The woman pictured here, presumably the mother, is clearly enjoying the ride.
